What software is available for generating indices in TeX?  I would like
to have my text peppered with TeX commands of the form:
    \indexput{canine}   --   to create an index entry "canine"
    \indexputsub{woof}{canine}   --   to create a "subindex" entry woof
				      under "canine".

The "hard" part is to write a sorting routine.  I realize that this is not
all that hard, but perhaps someone has already done it.
